SDL2 goes into current

This evening, i accidentally check Slackware's changelog and i saw that SDL2 is now added into Slackware-Current along with other components (image, net, gfx, mixer, and ttf). ffmpeg is also rebuilt and now has ffplay since all the deps have been met (SDL2).

SDL2 is being used by many other projects. Running my dependency-checking script on SBo repository yields a lot of results:

Python 3.6.0 has been pushed to master and 14.2 branch in SBo repository in the last public update. There are a lot of new features and changes included in this major release. Some changes may broke other packages depending on Python 3. If you find any broken packages due to Python 3.6.0 changes, let us know by posting in LQ or via our mailing list.

Currently there are 64 packages that list Python 3 as hard dependency:

NVidia has released an updated legacy drivers to support X.Org 1.19 with ABI 23. It has been mentioned in the UNIX drivers, but you can directly find the drivers from the links below:NVidia 304.134 (x86, x86_64)NVidia 340.101 (x86, x86_64)
I have tested the 304.134 driver and it's working great here. I can finally remove x from my /etc/slackpkg/blacklist file since it's a showstopper for me.
Aside from legacy driver, NVidia has also released their latest driver 375.26 (x86, x86_64), which brings support for newer cards and also many new features (including X.Org 1.19 with ABI 23 support).
